Gene, there are no buildbots for Bookworm (or Bullseye for that matter).
The Bookworm package is quite old (Feb 2023 I think)
So I think you have no choice but to build from source so it may not matter
which OS you use.
The ARM64 support is really spotty and while there are a few unofficial
images, you have no idea what they are or how old they are.
I outlined a known working solution using bookworm
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/getting-started/getting-linuxcnc.html
Going this way actually shortens the dependency list a lot when you build
from source.
However the way you work, I would explore building the Raspberry pi Cross
compiler on a X86 machine which outputs an image file you burn to the pi
with the normal pi imager.
I shared some links in an issue here
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/2349 about this
If you start with the upstream source and work through David Smiths git
example, you will see how he patched for prempt_RT kernel and built
Linuxcnc and ethercat via scripts. I link to the relevant file. I have done
this and it works. Its just a bit old but it would be pretty easy to
refresh it.
I will have a go at this one day. My current project is a live
build/installer for X86 machines using Bookworm and the buildbot debs. I
got this working yesterday, it just needs a bit of rine tuning.
And if its anything like the previous installs, easier to setup than
debian.
looking fwd to it.
In the meantime the armbian people have a full i3 desktop spin of ubuntu
jammy I might try booting tomorrow. That comes with a 6.1 kernel so
there's at least a chance linuxcnc can run on it.
Their jammy for bananapi-m5's works great with klipper running the printer.
That and I've found a mailbox "you've got mail" alarm that uses a 12
volt battery kills the battery in a month, so I'm thinking up a solar
cell convertor to run it. The solar I have already, makes about 6 volts
in bright sunlight and I have some 1 farad 5 volt caps to make a
rechargable battery. Might have the only solar powered mailbox in town
when I get done. Small town. :o)>

Several problems? this morning.
1. Used synaptic to fix broken-packages by removing my locally built
linuxcnc-v2.10.0 pacakages.
1a. debians arm64 netinstall, put on an sd card doesn't even try to
boot. Apparently no u-boot or miss-configured for a raspberry pi or a
bananapi-m5.
2. Linuxcnc en docs could then be installed from the buildbot but
linuxcnc-uspace had missing dependencies and would not install from the
buildbot.
3. Made new .debs from this mornings git pull and installed them with
dpkg -l, but dpkg claimed missing dependency's and would not finish the
configuration.
missing dependency's are:

=======================
But it loads and apparently runs ok anyway!!!!! So I don't appear to be
disabled.
4. figured it was probably time to update from 32 bit (armhf) buster to
bookworm, but on arrival at raspios site, find its may '23 release is
still bullseye. dl the 64bit desktop anyway. Put it on sd card. I can
edit the card for network stuff etc even before 1st boot, but since its
bullseye, linuxcnc hasn't arrived yet.
5. is it worth my time to do that and switch cards and try to build
linuxcnc on bullseye? The last time I tried that, the python3 was too
new so configure bailed out. I reported that 2 or 3 times here, long ago
when bullseye was new, and was ignored.
So I'm stuck all alone out here in left field and everyone has gone home
for the rest of the month/year/whatever.
Please advise.
And I just made another discovery. My apron jog speed enable pushbuttons
have not beem working recently using the buildbot pkgs, but my locally
built debs are working as intended. That pushbutton status and handling
is all in hal, but the reporting to the screen so I'm advised of the
speed change is pyvcp. When it didn't work I was stuck in slow, both for
effect and on screen. That points at hal, but Beyond that, I have no info.
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
